I recently heard this statement said by a woman I'd just met. I admit I don't really agree with it. But it got me wondering (a few days later)...how much of the Pit thinks humanity has some sort of divine spark? Even if you just think that "spark" is known as your "conscience"? Is there something in humanity that makes us special, something that could be attributed to some higher being?

Or would you say, "No"? If no, why?

Now, let's please not turn this into another thread where the "religious" people bash the Atheists or visa-versa. This isn't meant to be a "religious" topic; it's more a philosophical discussion. So, mind your manners, gentlefolk!

I believe that the word 'God' is nothing more than a metaphor to describe what the material universe itself is. So saying that God is everywhere is like saying that the universe is everywhere, so it's not a very impressionable statement.

Call it God, call it humanity, it doesn't matter. I believe that if there is a creator, he isn't something outside of ourselves. We're all just extensions of one consciousness, different manifestations of a single mind.
